Print window does not display correct sheet

While trying to print from a Numbers v3.2 sheet, the Print preview window displays a different sheet from the one I am viewing.

For example, I am trying to print sheet #502, but the Print previes is showing sheet #297.

And if I execute the print command, sheet #297 is sent to the printer, not sheet #502.

Have you tried selecting the sheet you want at the top of Print Preview?

Yes, I did try this. thank you.

At sheet #502, the preview was showing sheet #297.

So I went to sheet #297 and began scrolling forward in the previews.

They were displaying correctly through Sheet #422.

But at sheet #423, it was previewing #421

At sheet #424, it was previewing #419

And it continued showing Preview #419 through the last sheet #502.

So it seems the Preview would not display correctly past sheet #422.

In addition, I ran OnyX and deleted all Application caches, rebooted.

Did not fix problem with Numbers.

Latest workaround:

Navigate to sheet that will not preview or print correctly.

Copy all desired cells in sheet.

Create new sheet.

Paste cells into new sheet.

Reformat.

Print from new sheet.

Bummer factors:

formatting will not copy over.
Some Cell references are lost, some formulas must be rebuilt.
Export function works only for entire Book. Cannot export individual sheet. In a better world, this feature should work the way it does in Acrobat.
